[edit]From the July 1921 issue of The Writer (p. 108):
Henry C. Pitz, the author and illustrator of the poem, "Faery Magic," in the June St. Nicholas is by profession an illustrator whose recreation is the writing of verses and fairy tales. Mr. Pitz was born in 1895 in Philadelphia, was educated in the grammar and high schools of that city, and was graduated from the Art School of the Pennsylvania Museum in 1917. The following year he taught drawing at the same school, contributing children's verses to the newspapers and the small Sunday-school publications of the city. The next year he spent in the hospital and ambulance service in France. After his discharge from the army, he began to illustrate for the magazines—the Cosmopolitan, St. Nicholas, the Century, Everybody's, and others. Since Mr. Pitz began to write again, he has placed verses with Boys' Life and the Philadelphia Sunday Record, and he is now doing a series for St. Nicholas, two of which have already appeared. Mr. Pitz is also gathering material for a book of children's verses and tales, to be published with his own illustrations.
