"Dick Lester of Kurrajong" by Mary Grant Bruce is a novel written in the early 20th century.

The opening of the story reveals the setting of a boarding school where Dick, a thirteen-year-old boy, receives unexpected news that his mother is coming to visit him. Initially anxious about the reason for being summoned by the school doctor, Dick's spirits are lifted when he joyfully discovers that his mother has arrived for a surprise visit.
