What is the author's style in Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery?

The language of this novel tends to be light and airy. Some of the words used are not that common today, such as enraptured, empurpling, cockles, and verandah. The meaning of the words is assumed from the context. Anne tends to use words in her descriptions and speech that are different from the average person and is even called on this by a few characters in the novel. She just likes the rhythm of words and tends to use unusual ones for her personal enjoyment, not because she is trying to show off. This enthusiasm is one of the things that make her such a delightful and well-loved character, even to this day.
