opinions on Fantasy story intro?

What do you think of the intro to my fantasy story :)

All was calm at 232 Sunnybrook Way. The moon peaked behind a cloud that sat stag in the sky. Moon light gleamed through the window mixing into the surrounding candlelight providing as the only source of illumination. The small girl lie in her Oakwood, canopy bed wide-eyed and filled with wonder as her papa read from the large green book. The cover of the book, much like its contents was inexplicably magnificent. Nearly a hundred and thirty years old, the book sat as if a hand had never lain upon it. It was forest green and rather large with a beige picture of a man holding a torch, as two children followed behind him gazing back at something mysteriously. Just above the picture was the title etched across the cover in a shade of gold written in storybook font. At the bottom of the cover just below the picture lay what appear to be wings or feathers. All this was contained within a gold border and just beyond that at each outer corner of the book was what looked to be some kind of peacock, Chinese fan design. The spine was as intriguing as the rest of the book with more gold writing engulfed in a tapestry of green. Another caption had been drawn on the spine depicting two travelers standing in front of an opening. Much like the first, one traveler bore a torch in his hand standing proud in resemblance to the statue of liberty. Under that sat a diamond design drawn in black. The title was written across the top and beneath that, the name Jules Verne.

Her papa read from the book with such emotion that brought the words to life and pulled the listener into its pages, disconnecting anyone who dared to listen from reality itself. He spoke of dinosaurs, wanderers and an underground ocean. A wondrous world of which few have ever traveled. Each word leapt off the page at young Clarabelle and left her mind open to all sorts of marvellous visions. Finally, Clarabelle lay still with dreams of secret worlds and unknown places circulating through her unconscious mind as her father disappeared into the depths of the night.
