This review is from: The Golem: A New Translation of the Classic Play and Selected Short Stories (Hardcover)
Neugroschel's book assembles most major Yiddish legends of the golem, with the primary ones being from Yudl Rosenberg's tales and the famous play by H. Leivick. The translation is easily readible and compares well with other translations (although in this book, the Maharal's name is rendered "Leyb" instead of the usual "Lowe", which takes a minute to get used to). If you're interested at all in Jewish mysticism and legend, this is one of the best compilations.
