Bibliography:
Hoff, Benjamin. "The Tao of Pooh." Dutton. New York. 1982.
Review: I was studying the various translations of the Tao Te Ching when my wife mentioned this one. I was intrigued as I assumed it would take a comical Poohish view of the Tao. I was right. I was wrong.
Mr. Benjamin Huff was a serious person who had studied the Tao Te Ching and took the opportunity to teach about it through the eyes, ears and touch of Winnie the Pooh.
This book is a must if you are studying the Chinese classics to gain insight to the culture and beliefs of both Okinawans and Japanese regarding Zen, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Mr. Huff through Pooh provides a perspective that enlightens and while your having fun doing it, what a combination.
