“Henny Ravestein was not only among my most gifted pupils, but was also among my most favourite people and a good friend. Her translating and publishing ‘Stage Fright’, at her own expense, was much valued and appreciated by me and all people who are interested in ‘The Kató Havas New Approach’ in Holland. Her untimely death left us all, who loved her, with a great sense of loss and bereavement. Her book with her inscription to me, will be put in my archives, with all my other books in the Bodleian Library in Oxford.”
