Nearly fifteen years after Sorcery and Cecelia was originally published, demand for used copies of the first book was still great enough that our agents were able to resell the first title along with a sequel. We had been working on the sequel, The Grand Tour, for years; it turned out to be much harder to repeat the process when we knew we were writing for publication, rather than for our own delight.
For the third volume, The Mislaid Magician, we skipped ahead in time ten years, to the building of the early railroads in England.
We don’t currently have plans for another book in the series, but Caroline’s Magic Below Stairs (Penguin, 2010) is set in the same background.
