Wasn't one of the tales Drusilla's 1997 trauma in Prague? If the little girl is Giles' grandmother, she must hitch a ride with Mr. Peabody and his Wayback Machine at some point.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Thanks Matt! I had a feeling the wraparound story was taking place near the present day (but not today 'cause "Look Ma! No Council!") but I couldn't remember why I thought that.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Well, looking at the style of dress of the children, I think the wraparound story has no timeline bearing to the included stories...

The clothing is formal, but I didn't think it was particularly dated.

Call it an intuition then.

I thought of this point after posting my original supposition, but I decided to stick with it. Maybe it is that the Tales that we see have no bearing on the framing story. (FWIW, Joss' story illustrated by Cameron Stewart included Lord of the Rings movie references).

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The vampire in the Tales framing story made it clear that some of the stories hadn't happened yet. How this is has yet to be revealed.
