Winnie-the-Pooh has a certain way of doing things which, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient principles of Taoist philosophy. Taoism emphasises living in harmony with the Tao, the way of the universe, just as Pooh lives in harmony with his surroundings in the Hundred Acre Wood. And as for Piglet, the Te (a Chinese word meaning virtue) of the Small, is a principle perfectly embodied in this Very Small Animal.
