I'd like to second or third a lot of the reccs, especially Disk World. And, I'd like to add one, too.
The Elemental Masters Series by Mercedes Lackey
It's a series of at least four books, mostly set in England, three of them late Victorian Era, one in WWI. They're based on classic fairy tales, Cinderella, Puss in Boots, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty (though that one's set in San Fran in 1906) for example, and feature elemental magic heavily. Elemental magic not just in the earth, wind, water, fire sense, but in the same way D&D means Elemental, as in a supernatural creature of the elements. Dryads, Golems, Undines, that sort of thing.
They were really cool books where the familiar and the new are blended together into a yummy concoction.
