There is a tradition which has not been established, that in the face of these threats, Maharal created a Golem, a humanoid figure formed from mud and brought to life by secret prayers and Kabbalistic sayings.

Or, if you like
The illustrious Maharal of Prague is best known as the creator of the famous Golem, but that was hardly his greatest accomplishment. He composed an enormous body of dazzling literature that forms the essence of much Torah thought to this day.

I rather suspect that they may have revised the second description (of Be'er Hagolah) based on your write up. It now reads "The illustrious Maharal of Prague is best known as the creator of an enormous body of dazzling literature that forms the essence of much Torah thought to this day." The first one (the kids book) still has the same phrasing.
