The file contains two chronologies, one titled 'Kaye Webb - her life' and complete up to 1946, the second giving details up to 1979; one conventional biographical list; one medical history up to 1980; and one record of hospitalisations between 1980 and 1991.
The file contains sections titled 'Webb/Grandparents', with manuscript and typescript notes on Webb's family history and W.G. Webb's 'Penny Plain Tuppence Coloured Toy Theatres', including related correspondence and photocopies of illustrations and articles; 'My Mother' with multiple annotated typescript drafts; pieces titles 'Finishing School', 'Education and First Job', 'My first job' and 'My Early Jobs'; notes on working with Stefan Lorent on Lilliput; typescript drafts for a section on her friendships with Mervyn Peake and Dylan Thomas; a short piece titled 'Elizabethan Magazine'; 'Books with Ronald'; a piece on Allen Lane and Puffin; 'On Being a Children's Editor' and a list titled 'Posssible Portraits'. The file also includes one notebook with cover missing containing manuscript notes, mainly on being a children's book editor, and partial annotated text beginning 'Because of the work I do...' and marked 'K Personal' with related quotations from various children's writers. The file also contains a copy of an article entitled 'Working with Ardizzone', written by Judy Taylor Hough.
