The Library of Congress shows 20 records for this Richard Kennedy as of 2016-05-05 (browse LC Online Catalog via his identity as linked below). All 20 credit him as writer with at least one other person as illustrator; one also credits another person for music.  
: This author record was split last week. We now have the distinct illustrator Richard Pitt Kennedy A{{a|229183}}
 
: Per email from LC to me received today, however, that "one of its 21 records" [http://lccn.loc.gov/86025869 LCCN 86-25869] has been reassigned not to '''British illustrator Richard Pitt Kennedy''' but to another Kennedy, namely (as of 1986) "'''Kennedy; illustrator lives in Italy''', does not reveal forenames" [http://lccn.loc.gov/n85372282 n85-372282]. No doubt some of that Kennedy's 12 records are spurious but most of them are children's picture books with text translated from Italian, which fits. At least one is evidently a genre work (albeit unpaged children's picture book), "The Ugly Duckling" (Barron's 1986) [https://lccn.loc.gov/85028576 85-28576].

The Library of Congress does not evidently know Jerome Richard Kennedy (b. 1932) as an illustrator. All but one of its 21 records for him (returned for him in the online catalog as of 2016-04-27) credit him as writer and another person as illustrator. The one record credits Richard Kennedy as illustrator of work by another writer, perhaps by mistaken identity.

LC cites ''Contemporary Authors'' for the full name "Jerome Richard Kennedy". Apparently Hodder & Stoughton published one of his books as by "Richard Jerome Kennedy" (per OCLC, also Amazon as of 2016-04-27).

At least such editions as ''Puss-in-Boots'' 1987, ''Peter Pan'' 1967 {{p|292645}}, and OUP ''Pippi Longstocking'' 1971 are likely to be handled by a professional illustrator.
