The Other Darker Ned

The Other Darker Ned

"The Other, Darker Ned" is a 1979 novel written by author Anne Fine about a girl (called Ione) who hears her blind father complaining to his secretary that she only ever 'mopes' and he wishes that she would do something. She then goes to an Oxfam shop and takes a huge shock when she hears about poverty in India.

Ione holds a jumble sale in the village to buy a bullock for farmers in India who are dying. The title "The Other Darker Ned" refers to the character she sees in her head who is a resemblance of her friend Ned. She becomes so shaken by the image that she decides to stop at nothing to hold the jumble sale. She is extremely successful and manages to buy two bullocks, get Ned, and his girlfriend (Professor Muffet's secretary) to stop quarrelling and fall in love.
