The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet
The Principles of Taoism Demonstrated by Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet
Benjamin Hoff , Illus. EH Shepard New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Through the world of Winnie-the-Pooh and his response to his ventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, Benjamin Hoff demonstrates that Taoism is not merely ‘an ancient and remote philosophy but a Very Useful Thing to know’ and explains its basic principles and concepts. This omnibus edition also includes an exploration of how the notion of Te, or Virtue, is embodied by the Very Small Animal that is Piglet.
Product information
Full publisher description
"It's hard to be brave,' said Piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal."
Rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "It is because you are a very small animal that you will be useful in the adventure before us."
Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way about him, a way of doing things that has made him the world's most beloved bear, and Pooh's Way, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient Chinese principles of Taoism. And as for Piglet, he embodies the very important principle of Te, meaning Virtue of the Small. Benjamin Hoff's explanations of Taoism and Te through Pooh and Piglet show that this is not an ancient and remote philosophy but something that you can use, here and now.
An utterly unique book which makes complex concepts accessible with a little help from Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh may be a Bear of Very Little Brain but there are lessons to be learned from his approach to life. Beautifully decorated by E.H.Shepard.
