Letter: Ernest Hecht obituary

Version 0 of 1.

I suspect that our shared passion for Arsenal was the reason why Ernest Hecht published a book I edited. But he also appreciated war stories with a twist: Edwin Varley’s The Judy Story: The Dog With Six Lives (1973) told of a winner of the Dickin medal.

We also shared an interest in ice-cream – on his travels he collected “tastes”, and I recall him being impressed by avocado. He was certainly a one-off, and the work of his charitable foundation, linking the arts with health and wellbeing, remains as pressing as ever.
