I forgot to mention this earlier. I read Magic Below Stairs earlier this week in one day. I dove in and came out the other side and enjoyed every minute of it. Only trouble is, being basically a kids book, I could read it quickly, and now it's over. Sort of Sorcery and Cecilia lite. I look forward to more.

Speaking of which, I just found out about another kids book, set in Regency England, with magic. It just came out in the UK, but won't be out in the US until next year, most likely. The local library has it on order, but Amazon doesn't seem to list it. There is a link to the first three chapters here.

There is also a contest for a free copy of the book, here.
