I believe the answer is:

huckleberry finn

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'faceless rock'n'roller pens foreign article' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'european novel' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'european' could be 'finn' (someone from Finland) and 'finn' is located in the answer.
'novel' could be 'huckleberry' (I've seen this before) and 'huckleberry' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
