The story unfolds in a compelling way: a small boy who fled Georgia due to misfortune eventually becomes a favorite of the Prince of Wales. The presentation was attended by Soso Giorgadze, Chairman of the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia, and Koba Kobaladze, Director of the State Service for Veterans Affairs and Major General. And the Guests from Australia including the author’s son, Gregory Zakharov, and his grandson, David Zakharov.
