A Boy at the Hogarth Press

Richard Kennedy was educated at Marlborough. At sixteen, having failed to achieve an adequate academic standard, he left and went to work at the Hogarth Press.

After he left the Hogarth Press he took a journalists' course at University College, London, and subsequently he went to the Regent Street Polytechnic where he worked industriously as an art student for two years. In the years preceding the war he worked in an advertising agency. He married Olive Johnstone whom he had met at University College and has three children.

During the war Richard Kennedy served in the RAF ground staff and rose to the rank of Corporal. Since then he has occupied himself in illustrating children's books, which are known to children throughout the world. He has also written A Parcel of Time, a record of his life before he joined the Hogarth Press.
