""Under Queen and Khedive"" is an autobiography written by Walter Mieville, an Anglo-Egyptian official who served in Egypt during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He also offers candid reflections on the challenges and controversies he faced as a foreigner working in a complex and often turbulent society. Throughout the book, Mieville provides vivid descriptions of Egyptian culture, customs, and traditions, as well as his own personal observations on the country's history and development. He also shares his views on the role of imperialism and colonialism in shaping Egypt's destiny, and the challenges of navigating the complex relationships between different ethnic and religious groups. Overall, ""Under Queen and Khedive"" is a fascinating and insightful account of a pivotal period in Egypt's history, as seen through the eyes of a perceptive and thoughtful observer.
