The 75th Anniversary Year of Winnie-the-Pooh in 2001 was a year of change and renovation for The Wisdom of Pooh list, which continues in 2003 with the reissue of this phenomenally popular title. The cover has been redesigned in a new style to reach a wider market for Winnie-the-Pooh adult readers and to encourage new fans for Benjamin Hoff's bestselling titles.

To be honest, I am not a big "Winnie the Pooh" fan, and I was going to put this book down after the first 30 pages, but I am thankful that I kept reading. Benjamin Hoff does a fantastic job of explaining Taoism in an easy to read, intellectually stimulating format.In addition, even if you don’t want...
Always been partial to a little Taoist thinking, and this has been written in a very accessible and entertaining way. I wondered if it might beat me at first when I realised I hadn't read any of the actual Winnie the Pooh books, but of course it makes no difference where this is concerned.Needless t...
