Two volume set in slipcase. Tao of Pooh is 1983, Te of Piglet is 1992. Later printings.

A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh! While Eeyore frets . . . and Piglet hesitates . . . and Rabbit calculates . . . and Owl pontificates . . . Pooh just is. And Piglet herein demonstrates a very important principle of Taoism: The Te--a Chinese word meaning Virtue--of the Small." Unused condition, slipcase is also quite good, clean, bright, solid, with some minor edge wear. Very nice set, hard to find with the earlier publication dates.
