He failed to gain employment in the theater andwas close to starving when a wealthy man noticed him and became hisbenefactor. Andersen was sent to school and began traveling aroundEurope and making friends in high society.    Andersenpublished his first collection of fairy tales in 1835, which gainedhim almost immediate recognition that continued to grow throughouthis life.
