Ig Oliver grew up in rural Northamptonshire and worked as a professional chef in kitchens across several countries before shifting to children’s writing and illustration. The Butterfly Bee Lady and the Bee (2017) introduced Belliza, a bee-keeping character, and her companion Bramley-Bee, in an illustrated story aimed at younger children.
The second Butterfly Bee Lady book followed in 2019, and Oliver later expanded the series into the It’s A Kind of Maragic umbrella, with additional parts arriving in 2025. The books are self-illustrated, with Oliver’s visual style being as distinctive as the stories’ imaginative logic.
