Looking for an introduction into taoism

I'd like to learn about taoism, the teachings and their historical context.

Does anyone perhaps have a good suggestion for english language works on the subject?

The Tao of Pooh and The Te of Piglet are two books that relate to Taoism through Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. A nice start.
- I love these two!!
There is a community !taoism@lemmy.world that might be able to give you some good suggestions.
- I will pose the question there too. Thanks for the suggestion.
Alan Watts isn't the worst place to start either, especially if you're a total newbie.
