Robbins's first "series" was Win and Wear, and most of her subsequent titles were published anonymously, as by "The Author of 'Win and Wear.'" Although the books were advertised as the Win and Wear series, they do not appear to share common characters or locations. Most are boys' stories; some series lisings for Win and Wear even add the subtitle "A story for boys."
