In Disney's film Beauty and the Beast, the Beast bequeaths his library to Belle in a gesture of friendship. In this original story-within-the-film, Belle then discovers a magical book called Nevermore that transports her into a too-good-to-be-true world she almost becomes trapped in forever. Despite two-dimensional new characters, Donnelly elevates this tale by offering backstories and additional depth for the film's characters.
