When the Duke of Wellington asks James to look into the sudden disappearance of a German railway engineer, James and Cecy's search reveals a shocking truth: The railway lines are wreaking havoc with ancient underground magic, which could endanger the very unity of England. Meanwhile, Kate has her hands full taking care of all their children, not to mention the mysterious mute girl they rescued from a kidnapper! Written in letters between Kate and Cecy--and between their husbands--this installment of the cousins' adventures is another satisfying blend of magic, mystery, adventure, humor, and romance. 164037 1 11 2006 The Mislaid Magician or Ten Years After: Being the Private Correspondence Between Two Prominent Families Regarding a Scandal Touching the Highest Levels of Government and the Security of the Realm (Cecelia and Kate, Book 3) total:619|5:94|4:253|3:229|2:35|1:8| 619 2247 957 109 3 1 false false Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 11 09:43:05 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 08 10:25:31 -0800 2007 Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot (a book that was out of print for many years and only enjoys its current revival thanks to the popularity bestowed to youth fantasy by a certain British author and her bespectacled wizardy brat), this book joins th...more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Mar 01 22:18:47 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 22:19:35 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 11:38:26 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 12:21:01 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 7 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 08:08:35 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 07:10:07 -0700 2009 Being the Private Correspondence of Two Families...
