App Description

A lifelong muffins fan, Maid Marian was forlorn. Far and wide, she had searched. Morning after morning, she had searched. For month upon month and year upon year, she had searched. But always, she had searched in vain. A good old-fashioned muffin - a rich, hearty, unabashedly delicious muffin - was impossible to find.

Join Maid Marian on her epic quest for the muffin of her dreams!

Maid Marian Muffins blends the best of old and new in a uniquely engaging tale of toil, tenacity, and triumph. Lyrical prose, sparkling illustrations, and loads of good old-fashioned silliness make Maid Marian a hero for any age; add to this mix the most artful use of interactive technology in children's book apps today, and Maid Marian Muffins is a marvel of modernity, smartly conceived.
