If the introduction in the William Scott Wilson translation of the Tao te Ching was went over your head for being formal and/or expository this book might "do the trick" in explaining Daoism and/or being a kind of addendum to what William Scott Wilson was saying in the intro to his translation. Albiet this book will do that in a narrative sort of way with the characters from the Winnie the Pooh series,frequently citing the original A.A. Milne stories. By that same token, it can be seen amusingly be seen as a interpretation of the A.A. Milne stories in a philosophical-religious lens. An intriguing take on a Disney franchise known to not really be lively. If it's one thing I've gotten from this book is that Daoism is not about being heady. Quite the opposite; the emptiness of not having knowledge does not mean stupidity and it's interesting how by showing the doings of Winnie the Pooh, the clarity and authenticity of simple doings can be shown to be a good thing. Makes me feel (ironically) tempted to look into the epistemology of Daoism ^_^ !.
