To emphasize the magical elements of the story and to create the feeling that the novel is in some way a sort of fairy tale, the author writes using a dreamy selection of words. In particular, the author focuses on a dreamy or fantastical mood, as opposed to spending lots of time and attention in establishing the concrete details of the scenes.
