The concept was really cool! An elf is sent to a goblin kingdom as a spy and sends back "mind image" transmissions. In his transmissions he depicts goblins are horrific and barbaric creatures, when in reality, they simply have a different culture and are not all that bad! The illustrations compete with the text in a dissonance until the end when it all gets sorted.
