Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer (1988)
The full title of this book is actually Sorcery and Cecelia or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the Correspondence of Two Young Ladies of Quality Regarding Various Magical Scandals in London and the Country, but it would appear LJ has a limit to the number of characters in the subject!
This is a charming, fanciful tale of magic and intrigue, told through the correspondence of two young cousins, Cecelia and Kate. Soon after Kate leaves for a Season in London, both girls find themselves involved in a mystery concerning an enchanted chocolate pot. There is something about the writing style that I would almost describe as "delicate." It is a fun story in a magical alternate reality that the reader would almost like to step into.
