Pendant son exil parisien, Bilibine va mettre son talent au service du Père Castor. Cela lui permettra de se confronter à un texte d'Andersen et de mettre momentanément de côté la tradition russe. Pour ses jeunes lecteurs ce sera surtout l'occasion d'admirer des vagues au moins aussi belles que celles d'Hokusai.
