Avec la Contre-Réforme, l'Église décide de peupler les édifices de toute une iconographie baroque. Les artisans et artistes locaux sauront assimiler les modèles observés jusqu'à Versailles et les assagir à la mesure de leur province. « ... Amenée par mes fontions d'archiviste à parcourir le département du Cantal pour inspecter les archives communales, j'en profitai pour visiter les églises qui, à cette époque encore, étaient ouvertes en dehors des offices et je reçus le choc que peut produire sur tout profane la présence, dans des paroisses écartées de montagne, de monumentales boiseries sculptées et peintes dressées derrière les tables d'autel, telles qu'apparaissaient, par exemple, parmi les plus belles celles de Bredons, Apchon ou Cézens, rutilantes d'or et peuplées de tout un monde exubérant et coloré.

The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!
