You may have already covered this on the blog some time in the past but I highly recommend Benjamin Hoff's wonderful books, The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet. Whether he intended it or not, Milne did a better job of explaining the principles of the Tao Te Ching better that any of the stuffy, philosophical translations I've ever read.
I came down into the comments to recommend both those books myself. There is much wisdom to be found in the simple things in life, and Milne knew that.

ReplyDeleteI've heard of them but never read them. Requested from our library - thanks for the suggestion.
