Perhaps 'Heirs' would have been a more proper term if Maryganos left a will and the will specifically addressed the question of ownership of the book. Otherwise... But, irrespective, the book would not pass into the public domain until seventy years after the death of the author. So, we can either wait seventy years or we can attempt to obtain permission from Mrs. Fenwick's heirs.
