walks in the woods where he read to
him stories and plays. The little fell
low. unlike other boys. was exceed
ingly fond OF dolls. and would have

this early foundation that accounts for
his fondness for the theater.
At the age Of II with almost no ed

to Copenhagen where he hoped TO
make a name for himself: his great
ambition was for the stage. He had

Takes First Holiday
In the summer Of 1890 Andersen was
able 70 afford a holiday. ne had
brought out his first volume OF verse
and was slowly ascending the ladder
Of success. It was while on this
journey that he first fell in love: she
was the daughter OF his hostess and
he wrote these lines to her.
"A pair Of dark eyes fired my sight;
They were my world. my home. my
delight.
The soul beamed in them and child
like peace,
And never on earth will their mem
ory cease"

Andersen was fortunate in receiving /
a stipend from the new king. Christian /
