I'm so glad I rediscovered D.E. Stevenson this year! I hope you can get Music in the Hills through interlibrary loans, I really liked that one.
I agree with you that Miss Buncle's Book isn't really representative -- I can see how it initially set me up to approach her other books with the wrong expectations.
Recently I was wondering if anyone today is writing books like Stevenson, or more precisely, is anyone publishing books like hers today (I'm sure someone's writing them) -- and would those "feel" like Stevenson's to me, or if half the appeal Stevenson's descriptions of a bygone era.
