The detail from the excerpt that could appear in realistic fiction as well as in fantasy fiction is "a room that is not kept very tidy." This detail is realistic, as it describes a common situation that can occur in everyday life, regardless of a fantastical setting.
Read the excerpt from Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll.
Then she began looking about, and noticed that what could be seen from the old room was quite common and uninteresting, but that all the rest was as different as possible. For instance, the pictures on the wall next to the fire seemed to be all alive, and the very clock on the chimney-piece (you know you can only see the back of it in the Looking-glass) had got the face of a little old man, and grinned at her.
"They don't keep this room so tidy as the other,” Alice thought to herself, as she noticed several of the chessmen down in the hearth among the cinders: but in another moment, with a little "Oh!” of surprise, she was down on her hands and knees watching them. The chessmen were walking about, two and two!
