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?
Alan Watts isn’t the worst place to start either, especially if you’re a total newbie.

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.

“The Tao is Silent” by Raymond Smullyan is a great introduction.
