Enid Blyton Copyright Permissions

[gnshsbrmnn]

Who owns the copyright to the works of Enid Blyton? Chorion Books closed shop and their email doesn't work. Is there one contact for permission? Or depending on what work it is, do you write to a bunch of original publishers?

Appreciate help on this. Thank you.
