Though Hope, Indiana is often cited as place of birth for Albert Levering, his family had relocated to Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana a few years before his birth.--Dirk P Broer 11:41, 12 April 2012 (UTC)


As of August 2017, the Wikipedia biography of John Kendrick Bangs lists four books as illustrated by Levering.

  • Mollie and the Unwiseman (1902), illus. , illus. Albert Levering and Clare Victor Dwiggins
  • Mrs. Raffles: Being the Adventures of an Amateur Cracks Woman, Narrated by Bunny (1905)
  • Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream (1907)
  • Jack and the Check Book (1911) --fractured fairy tales?

A second Mollie novel and (not in the database) second Raffles collection were illustrated by other artists.

The frontispiece for Mollie and the Unwiseman is signed in clear block letters "ALBERT LEVERING". But he may have used other signatures or logos too.
