Mitchell Symons was born in 1957 in London and educated at Mill Hill School and the LSE, where he studied law. He was a principal writer of early editions of the board game Trivial Pursuit and has devised many television formats. He has written over forty books - including six for children with another eight in various stages of preparation. In naming Mitchell as the friend he would phone (as a Phone-A-Friend) if he were appearing on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Chris Tarrant said: "Mitch knows more totally useless things about useless subjects than anybody on earth". His children's books, published Random House, are very successful. He won the 2010 Blue Peter Award for Best Book (with Facts) and had a book chosen for the Booked Up scheme in 2008 and 2010. Random House are about to sell the millionth title in the six-book series.
